The Campus

The master plan for the Greenwich University was developed to shape and guide the development of the university. Situated in the most beautiful area of Karachi, Pakistan, overlooking the Arabian Sea, the existing campus is composed of academic, research and administrative buildings, primarily of modern design that represent different eras of architectural development. The master plan provides architectural, landscape and urban design guidelines to serve the existing and future needs of the university. It articulates an integrative landscape plan that demonstrates a subtle use of topographical conditions to enhance the existing landscaping, The plan addresses improvements to the campus infrastructure, proposing new facilities such as classroom buildings and parking structures. The generation of the master plan was a truly participatory process, successfully engaging the large number of beneficiaries including the entire university community. Ever green trees line the main road, and all classrooms including the courtyard and the sports yard and canteen are inspired by high tech facilities. Every facility on campus has wireless internet.

Greenwich University employs full range of security measures featuring high resolution auto focused CCTV cameras, face recognition and metal detection devices including a walk-through gate at the main entrance. Activity in and around campus is constantly monitored by the Administration and recorded on high capacity DVRs for review.

Security guards with advanced automatic weaponry are stationed at the main entrance as well as parking lots and surrounding roofs keeping an eye view of entire vicinity. Our aim as far as possible is to provide a safe and secure environment for staff, students and visitors to the University 24 hours a day 365 days of the year.

A lot of educated young men and women lose sight of their goals by opting for careers they are not cut out for. We believe in exploring the potential in students and finding out what their aptitude and strengths are. On the basis of thorough analysis, the students are guided through the appropriate course of studies. We ensure the right course for the right person.

Our Academic Advisory Program is a part of these continuing efforts to provide academic counseling to our students. This program offers professional services to help students overcome problems, past and present, and gain self-understanding and direction with regard to their courses of study and career plans.

Our counselors assist all students with their academic needs, course planning, program selection, probation counseling as well as change of academic status. Apart from full-time Academic Advisers, faculty members also assist advisers, as they are closest to the students’ requirements and problems, and can give them friendly, on-the-spot advice at all times.

Our scientific method provides students with an opportunity to discuss their plans, including academic plans, and it also provides a number of facilities, including the all-important job-searching skills, resume-writing, appearing for interviews, and teaching how to assess their aptitudes towards the end of their studies.

In the context of Pakistan in particular, career counseling is extremely important, so that students who do not have a clear idea about what career to choose are counseled in this regard. They must be guided towards acquiring an active and positive attitude towards their future in an environment which is becoming increasingly difficult and stressful.

Greenwich University is structured with multiple administrative service centers that guide and support students and the communities we serve.

The Communication Centre explicitly operates for the purpose of facilitating communication between students and individual members of the Administration. Our Communication Centre is a 12 hour operation that provides administrative and support services to students. They respond to and assist with student enquiries, admission applications, enrolment, fees and scholarships, timetabling, leave, add and drop, transcript, incomplete contract, internship, counseling and careers.

Greenwich University enjoys an international reputation as one of the principal seats of higher education in Pakistan. Greenwich has a long and great history of achievements, both in creating new knowledge and imparting this knowledge to generations of the future managers and leaders.

As a research-based university, dedicated not only to the quest and dissemination of knowledge but also to the creation of new knowledge, Greenwich is a place where the fullest and most exact information of the times is imparted.

The university enjoys the services of qualified Ph.D. professors and subject specialists to supervise its students and their research projects.

Much hard work, planning and thought have gone into the making of Greenwich Research & Development Centre (GRDC), a platform for academic and professional explorers to plunge gainfully into the realms of investigation and scrutiny in varied disciplines and fields of human pursuits.

At GRDC, the students and faculty members – along with experts from government, semi-government and private multinational organizations – pursue research with the help of facilities available to meet the challenges of the 21st century. In addition, the Centre aims at promoting innovations through initiatives geared towards development of world-class dynamic and flexible research sector.

The objectives of GRDC are to promote and support research culture among faculty members and M.Phil. And Ph.D. students, through preparation and submission of papers for seminars, conferences and research journals.

The Centre also proposes training for all researchers, whatever and wherever they are working at, and to achieve this goal it proposes to collaborate with all research institutions in Pakistan and abroad. It also aims to promote healthy interaction among Greenwich faculty, students and alumni.

GRDC has undertaken Data Mining and building a Data Warehouse for future with the ultimate aim to develop GRDC branding, as “Greenwich Research & Consultancy”.

Greenwich University, under the Faculty of Social Sciences & Humanities publishes research journal, the ‘New Horizons’, and under the Faculty of Management Sciences and Information Studies publishes ‘Journal of Business Strategies’.

Acknowledging the level of research in the research journals of Greenwich University, Higher Education Commission has recognized both the journals.

Going through life changes, choosing a major, making career decisions, becoming independent, relating well with others, being successful, and living meaningfully is inherently challenging and often difficult or distressing. The built-in demands of academic life contribute to the overall stress we inevitably feel.

Here at GCDC we offer support to Greenwich University students to assist with personal, academic and career concerns. Our approach is encouraging, collaborative and goal-focused. We are here to help you develop more personal awareness and learn the skills you need to be successful while you are at Greenwich University and beyond.

The university has signed MoU with them and their representatives in Pakistan promote effective counseling for youth in general and women in particular. Our comprehensive counseling services are designed to be timely, accessible and personalized to meet individual needs of students.

Moreover, there are HR forums constantly visit the university as representatives from the private sector, academia and the government to discuss sector-specific Human Resource issues, challenges and priorities.

Greenwich University endeavors to do its best to accommodate students with special needs within its community. We aim to provide a supportive environment so that each student reaches their potential..Our community of dedicated professionals is committed to supporting all learners in reaching their highest potential.
